You didn't want to insult him if they were Axis...? what if they were Work Equips then? lol
^^ Thanx vinny. Went home last night for little time with family. Your box was there. Thanx. Have not had time to open it yet. Had to drive back this am to gop back to work. Brought it with me though. Ill let you know how it turns out.
Alright everyone, I figured i'd stop being lazy and post some pics. The first 2 pics are of my car with some BBS-LM replicas aka Drag Dr-44 . I searched and searched forums and it seems like this will be the only car on any forum who has Drag DR-44 . Sadly, they didn't work out for me and kept on rubbing, even with the +40 off set on 15x7 which was tried on with both 195/50/15 and 195/55/15 tires but still kept rubbing. The car looked good from certain angles but really ugly from many. For some reason, the center part of the Drag DR44s sticks out more than the lip area. The ride really sucked so I figured why not return them to discount tire and get something I really want.
I opted with one of my favorite wheels of all time, the Axis OG Sans in a 15x7 +35offset with 195 50 15 tires. Oddly enough, my rubbing is almost non-existent and the ride is much smoother. It might be the quality of the wheel? With the DR44's I had a better tire (Yokohama S Drive). With the Axis OG-Sans I am running Kumho AST's and they are much more smoothe and quieter if you ask me. It could be the wheels though that made the better difference. But yeah, I am getting a lot of people who tell me they like the DR44s better but hey, "to each their own," right? Its my car and I can do whatever I want to it and how I want. I love the Axis Meshies.
BTW: I am lowered on Progress Springs with stock shocks if anyone wanted to know =)

I can't explain which part of the wheel but both front and rear would just rub when I went over bumps and when I encountered dips on the highways. The quality felt like they weren't very good. Maybe it was the balancing from Discount Tire but the Drag set up was much noisier than the Axis OG Sans. This was just my 2nd set of Drag wheels and compared to quality JDM wheels that i've had on my previous cars, it seems like you can feel a difference.














Let the tweaking begin
